RunePunk: DarkSummer Nights

Think again, jobber. This book takes it to the street as you get an in-depth slice of life of ScatterPoint first hand and learn what it really takes to survive in the big city. Be careful you don't get hurt.

Welcome to DarkSummer

Known as Three Rails by the locals, DarkSummer is one of the older and most dangerous boroughs in all of GreyMesa. Remember, we warned you.

Contents at a Glance:

The Gazetteer: Provides details on the history of DarkSummer, along with dozens of people, places, and new factions that inhabit the streets and the spires, and the places in between. Every one has their own story.

Jobber's Tales: Six brand new adventures build upon elements of the Gazetteer, so you can immediately incorporate DarkSummer into your game. Most can be completed in an evening of play.

Odds and Ends: GM Reference Sheets, Player's Handouts, and a map of DarkSummer are all in here (though we hid the map at the end).

Not enough for you? We didn't think so either, so we present you with Broken Dreams, a complete and complex adventure wrought with mystery and intrigue that ties together many of the people and places found in DarkSummer.

Gear up, you lazy grubs. You've got work to do. They don't call you jobbers for nothing!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
